Abstract
The invention relates to a caster comprising a trailing wheel, a fork and an assembly journal. The fork can be swiveled in relation to the assembly journal and inside the fork a braking device is disposed which can be displaced into the braking position via a tappet actuated by a trip cam. The aim of the invention is to provide a direction-lockable caster that has a simple design. For this purpose, the tappet interacts with a direction locking part mounted stationarily on the fork, when spring biased into a direction locking position.
